          Introduction to libassuan
        </h2>
        <p>
          The <span class="application">libassuan</span> package contains an
          inter process communication library used by some of the other
          <span class="application">GnuPG</span> related packages.
          <span class="application">libassuan</span>'s primary use is to
          allow a client to interact with a non-persistent server.
          <span class="application">libassuan</span> is not, however, limited
          to use with <span class="application">GnuPG</span> servers and
          clients. It was designed to be flexible enough to meet the demands
          of many transaction based environments with non-persistent servers.
        </p>
        <p>
          This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-9.1
          platform.
